Chapter 2026: Chapter 80: Subjugation (Part 3)
In a daze, his hands instinctively came together in a prayer pose.
His voice silently overlapped with the voice echoing in his mind:
“Amitabha.”
Outside.
Wang Ba looked at the vague figure in front with folded hands, glanced at the Wu Monkey King, and raised an eyebrow:
“What kind of divine skill is this?”
The Wu Monkey King retracted its Three-headed and Six-armed Dharma Aspect, scratched its monkey-fur-covered nape, grinned and said:
“Forgot.”
Wang Ba chuckled, not taking it to heart.
Bewitching magic powers are common in all sects, and it’s normal for Buddhism to have such methods; even he holds the Yin’s Great Dream Sutra.
However, since the Wu Monkey King consumed the fruit borne from the True Martial Incarnation’s Primordial Fetus, though nothing else seemed unusual, its progress over the years was quite astonishing. Now, it’s standing firmly at the peak of the Mid-stage of Unification. This is one of the reasons Wang Ba brought it along.
“Ask about the background.”
The Wu Monkey King nodded in agreement.
After some interrogation, the Treasure Hunter quickly revealed his origins.
To Wang Ba’s surprise, the master of this person’s faction had once had a brief encounter with him.
“Yan Zhi?”
“That King of the Big People Country?”
His mind unconsciously recalled the yellow-clothed child he met upon entering the market.
The impression left by the other was fairly positive, yet from this Treasure Hunter, he saw another side of that person.
“But indeed, if one were truly kind-hearted and upright, how could they thrive within this market?”
Wang Ba didn’t let emotions waver due to this; they had only met once. Even if they were to become adversaries now, it would only be from each acting in self-interest. When interests change, friend or foe remains uncertain.
After pondering, he commanded:
“Keep him, maybe he’ll be useful later.”
A Class VI Dao Domain cultivator, stronger than the Five Ghost Kings, could indeed be of use here.
The Wu Monkey King nodded, performed a Seal Technique.
The Treasure Hunter silently vanished from the surrounding space, seeming to fade away.
Yet Wang Ba could clearly feel that the other was not far off, vigilantly guarding.
Pleased, Wang Ba then sensed something and turned his head.
Suddenly, like mercury, the water pearl silently shattered like glass, then four figures flew out.
Yu Yu blushed slightly, steam rising from his head, but his face carried joy as he held a speck of Immortal Essence Jade Liquid the size of a sesame seed. Upon seeing the Wu Monkey King emerge, he paused then flew over grinning broadly, cheerfully saying:
“Mao, I got this!”
Born inside the realm of Little Cang World, receiving Chong Hua’s guidance from a young age and Yu Wuheng’s affection, possessing the body of an immortal, naturally gifted, cultivation was as simple as eating or drinking, yet rarely did he truly battle with others.
Now having burst into the water pearl, fought a great battle, he felt exhilarated, utterly satisfied.
It was as if the belligerent nature within him was unleashed and released.
The Wu Monkey King scratched its cheek fur:
“Alright…”
Saying so, it hopped back into Wang Ba’s sleeve.
Even though that was all the Wu Monkey King said, Yu Yu was still delighted, casually tossing the Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid to Wang Ba, unconcerned.
Wang Ba raised his hand to collect it, then curiously inquired.
He learned that the water pearl, although small in appearance, seemed to hide another world within, containing a peerless fierce creature.
But present here, even the seemingly weakest Corpse-digging Ghost King and Chen Xuan were Class V Dao Domain cultivators, let alone Yu Wuheng and Yu Yu, they didn’t need Yu Wuheng to act; Yu Yu alone overcame.
After the beast was slain, that world shattered, and the creature transformed into a drop of Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid.
“So the changes in these spaces are actually influenced by the Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid?”
Wang Ba mused.
“Not entirely, many places change without the appearance of Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid.”
Chen Xuan shook his head.
Wang Ba nodded, not probing further.
Following Chen Xuan’s sensing, they continued toward the target area.
They encountered several similar water pearls, Yu Yu eagerly rushed inside, fought fervently, and returned victorious.
Unconcerned, he threw the obtained Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid to Wang Ba.
Though Corpse-digging Ghost King praised luck a few times.
Yet shortly, Wang Ba keenly felt the surrounding rules swiftly becoming active again.
Looking down, he found that the original vast grassland, at some unknown time, had transformed into lush green mountains wreathed in clouds.
Taking another step forward, the mountains silently transformed into a snowy expanse…
“A scenery per step, not exaggerated.”
Yu Wuheng nodded slightly.
Many seen and unseen sights flitted past them like a lantern show.
Wang Ba and the group were quite amazed, feeling that even with utmost imagination, they couldn’t conceive such terrains and scenes.
“Do these places really exist in Realm Sea?”
Yu Yu couldn’t help but ask, eyes showing longing.
Chen Xuan, hearing this, sighed:
“Impossible to say, maybe such phenomena exist only in The Heavens.”
The speaker’s words unintentional, the listener’s thoughts intentional.
Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng exchanged a glance, each lost in thought.
Yet before long, Wang Ba’s heart suddenly surged, Wind-Driving Staff providing overwhelming sensing, letting him distinctly feel from afar a rapidly approaching powerful aura!
